</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">1)<a href="https://www.librarything.com/ngroups">Library Thing</a> is a great site that
connects authors with readers. They have over 2.6 million members and over 160
million books cataloged, and their community keeps growing. Signing up is
completely free. You catalog the books you are reading. You can even borrow and
loan material. As an author, you can post up to 5 of your published books on their
site for free. You can also create an author profile. They have other writing
resources as well.</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">2)<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5164337.John_Gorman">Goodreads</a> is a real juggernaut. If you’re
an author, you need to be on it. If you’re a reader, you need to be on it, too.
Get the picture. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Goodreads has bloomed into a launch
platform in and of itself. Everybody seems to be on it now, and it is an
essential part of every aspiring author’s diet. If you haven’t become a part of
it, you need to join now. </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">When you get there, make sure you do
these 5 things promptly. 1) Setup your Author Page and Bio 2) Request Friends
3) Join Groups 4)Connect your Blog to Goodreads (if you’ve never blogged before,
you can set up a blog right on your author dashboard) 5) Add the books you are
reading (it’s important to stay active)</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Above all else, you need to be an
active participant. Creating a Bio and sticking a few books on their site will
not cut the mustard. Even if you connect with 100 readers, it means nothing if
you don’t make regular updates and connect with others.</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">

one of my favorites. This is one of the best sites for an upcoming author. There
are no gatekeepers here to shut you out. Book Reader Magazine is always on the
lookout for great new writers who want to share their work. </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">They are an especially good site for
authors who have a Book Series. </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">

promotion network that also includes Awesome Gang and Discount Book Man. They
have a loyal base of readers and actively post on social media. They have a
very wide range of book categories to choose from, including Business, Cooking,
Healthy Living, LGBT, Action/Adventure, Memoir, and Sci-Fi, Poetry, and
Paranormal Romance. </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I have been interviewed on their
site, and I was very proud to have had an opportunity to engage with their
staff. Start with a free marketing campaign and see how it works out. From
there, you can go for a featured author promo. </span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">5)<a href="https://bestbookmonkey.com/">Best Book Monkey</a> is another great site
for Indie Authors. They have a dedicated following of readers and a wonderful
newsletter. They offer many different promotional packages at very reasonable
rates. They also offer FREE Book promotions which is a great way to build some
buzz and improve your Amazon rankings. They work with both Fiction and
Non-fiction authors in practically all genres. First-time authors on a shoestring
budget should definitely add Best Book Monkey to their marketing platform. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I recently used them for my own
Nebilon Series marketing campaign and saw a noticeable jump in my Amazon ranking
on the days of my promotion.</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">6)<a href="https://awesomegang.com/testimonials/">Awesome Gang</a> is another great site. They
are also run by the same people who run Pretty-Hot Books. They have an excellent
newsletter, and they do a Featured Author arranged by genre. You should connect
with them to set up an author interview. They are very accommodating, and so
far, I have only had good experiences using their services. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">7)<a href="https://bookgoodies.com/">Book Goodies</a> is also worth checking
out, but at the moment, there seems to be a high demand for listing on their
site. At the time of this blogpost, the wait-time for listing was about up to 4
weeks. But the wait is well worth it. They have a loyal base of readers, a
wonderful newsletter, and lots of giveaways. They also have a large section for
Non-fiction books, including How-to, Biography, Mind and Spirit, Crafts and Hobbies,
Faith and Religion, Travel, Pet, and Gardening Books.</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">

while letting their bit players sulk in the shadows. I’ve been guilty of this,
too. Sometimes we’re so committed to creating the next Harry Potter and the
next Frodo Baggins that we throw in everything but the kitchen sink to make our
heroes and heroines seem cooler and more amazing. But the awful truth is that
for every Frodo Baggins and Harry Potter, thousands of dwarves and muggles will
never cut the mustard and will end up doomed to anonymity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> Those poor dwarves and muggles get lost in the shuffle, and they
never even have any say in the matter. They are doomed for anonymity unless
some brave writer helps them make a splash on the page, however small it may
be.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Now, as a writer of Epic Fantasy, you may not want to make it
your business to delve into all of the excruciating minutiae of every dwarf and
goblin you bump into. Let’s not go overboard for them, but it’s a good idea to
find one or two special muggles that you can flesh out into strong, minor
characters. Making these prescribed choices can help distinguish your writing
style and add significant ballast to your stories, distinguishing them from the
rest of the stuff that’s out there.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">In today’s blogpost, I am going to share a couple of
strategies I use to develop my minor characters. My two favorite methods for
fleshing out these so-called minor characters are 1) To create a Brief Bio for
them and 2) Set up a Q and A. The Brief Bio method could also be used for the main
characters, but for the purpose of this exercise let’s use it for the bit players.
By starting off with this method, you will know where your character comes
from, what he/she has been doing for the past few years, and if he/she has
demonstrated any special skills.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I used this method in the second book of my Nebilon Series as
I was developing my gargoyle, Stan, and it turns out he had a knack for
astronomy. Funny how I didn’t know this until I set up a Q and A session with
him. More on that in a minute. My gargoyle’s interest in astronomy drove his
character’s ambition and helped get him selected for the Hope Box quest. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Spoiler alert. I didn’t use a Brief Bio to extract this info
from him. Building a Bio takes time. It also requires active engagement. You
may not have even given any thought to this particular character at all. You
know he’s a dwarf, or she’s a troll, but you don’t know anything about them
other than what preconceived notions you may have about these beings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Then how do I come up with something out of nothing? If I’m
having difficulty coming up with this background information, then I use the Q
and A method. I suggest using very straightforward questions. Something like:</span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> Biggest Fear <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>

he listed star-gazing as both his guilty pleasure and his pet peeve. I didn’t
think much of it initially, but then something sort of went off inside my head.
He was a gargoyle, and a gargoyle loafs on the side of a building or castle. He
had nothing else to do but look out and spy. Stan found an appreciation for the
cosmos, and once I realized that I had a minor character who had the ambition
to be an astronomer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I’m not mentioning this because I think he’s the best minor
character in the world or even the coolest gargoyle from Nebilon, but because
this kind of exercise can help you revise your outlook on character development
in general. It might even help you come up with the next quirky character that works
well in your story.</span></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Coming up
with titles isn’t easy. It should be fun, but it seems more like work. For many
authors, it’s a drag, but it’s your job. I’m sure you have a tentative title saved
up on your laptop and its twin copied into the Cloud. But if you’re like me,
it’s probably something as bland as “Book 3” or as clunky as “Clumsy wizard
needs a new apprentice.” That’s okay while you’re still working on the piece,
but when you’re getting ready to publish it, you need something better. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You need something catchy. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The real
trouble is how to come up with one. As a novelist, you’ve spent months,
possibly even years, building up your characters. You’ve played with plot
twists and crafted backstories to make your characters more dynamic. You’ve been
driving the scenes forward and expanding all these wonderful details chapter
after chapter. You have had time to build up the action and suspense. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">When you’re
coming up with a title, you must take a different approach. You must be pithy. This
is a tall order for the novelist, who is usually verbose. That’s why you’re in
the novel business. When you’re in a title-making mode, it’s better to think
like a poet or an adman. Yeah, I think the title-making part is more like advertising
because you want to lure the reader to the book. You want them to pick it and
read it. So how do we do that? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Well, a
great title certainly helps. But what makes a great title? That’s a very good
question, and depending upon who you ask, you are likely to get very different
answers. Some titles grab your attention, while others seem to blend in with
all the others. The really good ones make you pick up the book and read the
first chapter. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">You may want
to start by jotting down a few of your favorite titles. This gives you
something to strive for. I’ll show you mine.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> </span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Now I’ve got my 5 favorite titles in front of me. So how do I
come up with my own?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I’ll give you a hint. Stick to lists. It’s the best place to
start. Lists help you organize, and they’re easily accessible. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Try a freewriting exercise to build your Title List #1. This
way, it doesn’t seem so stressful. Let the ideas flow. When you’ve compiled a
page or two, go back and start numbering them in ranking order.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">This will help you get a sense of what is working and what is
not. I don’t recommend crossing out anything because you are in freewriting
mode. You want the creative juices to keep flowing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">It’s good to be clever, but it’s more important that your
title is relevant to your respective genre and the meat of your story. The worst
thing is to come up with a really clever title, and it bears no relation to the
type of story you wrote. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Even though your first title exercise is freewriting, you
still need to have an objective. Instead of summing up the whole book, you may
want to break it down by chapters. See if you can come up with chapter titles.
This is actually more work, but it will get you into the proper frame of mind.
Some authors have chapter titles in addition to their main book title. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Hint hint. I happen to enjoy those types of books. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Return to your list a day or two later. This gives you time
to reflect upon it in a more meaningful way. Maybe the title is still not
jumping out at you, but if you search line by line, you might find working
nuggets of wisdom. Move these nuggets around until they fit together.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">For your next exercise, you need to be more focused. You need
to ask yourself what your book is about. Sum it up using no more than 3 or 4 words.
After you’ve got a page or so down, return to your first exercise.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Do any of the titles match up? One of your chapter titles
might be baked into the main one. If not, no biggie. It’s ranking time again. Find
the 3 best ones. Now it’s medal time. Get ready to dole out the Bronze, Silver,
and Gold. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>

There isn’t any. There is also no connection between the alien supervillain, <a href="https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Nebulon">Nebulon</a>, from the Marvel Universe, who appeared in issue #34 of <i>The Defenders</i>, and the realm of Nebilon. </p><p>For a quick primer, Nebilon is a thriving hub in the magic-rich realm west of the Elbianic Sea and north of the Heel of Dunbar. It is comprised of the four main cities of Spork, Spore, Spawn, and Fram. </p><p>The worlds of Nebulon and Nebilon and the casts of characters that inhabit them couldn’t be more different. The Nebilon Series is not a spinoff and bears no relation to <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hello-Nebulon-Galaxy-Zack-Book-ebook/dp/B0088Q0HHE/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=hello+nebulon&qid=1597248144&s=digital-text&sr=1-1"><i>Galaxy Zack: Hello, Nebulon!</i></a> Aside from the Neb that they share at the beginning of their names, there really isn’t much else that they have in common. There’s a subtle pronunciation difference in the middle syllable, and that’s where the similarity comes to a screeching halt. The former is a book series geared for a slightly younger reading audience, mainly for grades K- 3, while the Nebilon Series Book 1, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VQHWRYX/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1"><i>The Acolyte and The Amulet</i></a>, and Book 2, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DXNLQ2K/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1"><i>Quest For The Hope Box</i></a> are more geared for middle school and above. </p><p>Actually, I think the Nebilon Series is tailor-made for anybody who enjoys humorous Sci-fi/Fantasy Adventure. Age really doesn’t come into play. For argument sake, if I had to guess, the planet, Nebulon would probably be 7 or 8 million light-years away from the craggier realm of Nebilon, give or take a couple hundred thousand light-years. </p><p>So I hope this clarification will suffice to clear up any confusion. If not, I’m sure it will all settle itself quite nicely at some point in the not too distant future, otherwise, the infamous Mage Council domiciled in Spork will have to step into the debate. </p><p>I will say this. Readers of Fantasy/Adventure will enjoy the Nebilon Series. Book 2, <i>Quest For The Hope Box</i> is out now. It was released a couple of weeks ago, and it is available on Kindle. I am hoping to release a paperback soon. Keep your eyes peeled for more on that.
There’s a new mission in <a href="https://awesomegang.com/quest-for-the-hope-box/#:~:text=About%20Quest%20For%20The%20Hope%20Box.%20A%20giant,Great%20Seer%2C%20Luma%20to%20help%20him%20out%20again.">Book 2, <i>Quest For The Hope Box</i></a>, and you’ll be happy to see that many from the main cast have returned for this important mission. Luma has become a full-fledged mage and she will be serving as a guide on a critical mission at the behest of Archmage Harberk. Luma will also have to learn to bond with the dragon that has hatched inside Harberk’s castle. Yes, I did say a dragon, one from the fire-breathing ilk. This endeavor will not be easy for the burgeoning mage, since she still has her pet wugwump, Wumsy along with her. As a brief aside, you might as well know that dragons and wugwumps have always had a tempestuous relationship, and over the years, those ill feelings have festered. </p><p> So Luma will clearly have her hands full on this mission. </p><p>It is also worth noting that in this follow up to the maiden voyage, a mysterious Box of Hope has surfaced after being hidden for centuries. Yes, I did say a box filled with Hope. A nothing special sort of wooden box with a peanut butter-like splotch on the side that just happens to ooze a swirly orange glow that goads Seekers into pursuing ambitious paths. The streets are soon clogged with all sorts of Hope-mongers. </p><p>This makes Book 2 of the Nebilon Series quite a bit more whimsical than <a href="https://profilecritics.com/book/wDMMDMUzwMwUx/interview#:~:text=Author%20of%20The%20Acolyte%20%26%20The%20Amulet%20Before,Box%2C%20is%20set%20for%20a%20July%202020%20release."><i>The Acolyte And The Amulet</i></a>, but there are still plenty of beastly entanglements that require the focused and judicious use of magic. You’ll get to meet the precocious gargoyle, Stan, who is rather ambitious and possibly even a secret agent for the Archmage Harberk. Personally, I find Book 2 to be a little more humorous than Book 1, but that’s a personal thing. For all I know, it might not read that way for you, and that’s totally fine.

I had to do it eventually. <br />
<br />
Any warm-blooded… check that… any cold-blooded…er— any diehard dragon wonk has a shortlist of their favorite firedrakes. Since it is Sci-fi/Fantasy Week on <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/blog/show/1652-it-s-science-fiction-fantasy-week-on-goodreads?int=sffweek_eb">Goodreads</a>, I decided to write a blogpost about dragons. Maybe you’d be more inclined to seeing a ranking of dwarves, elves, or centaurs. Hang onto your Hogwarts! Maybe I’ll get around to one of those lists the next time out. <br />
<br />
Today I’m sticking with dragons. The focus of this blogpost is strictly limited to the confines of literature so unfortunately <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7lmAc3LKWM">Puff the Magic Dragon</a> and Godzilla didn’t make the final cut, although both were early inspirations for me. For the record, even if <a href="https://www.godzillamovie.com/">Godzilla</a> was from a book and not film, his original incarnation was a bizarre hybrid, something of a cross between a gorilla and a whale. <br />
<br />
Caveat emptor. My list is strictly personal preferences. It is by no means exhaustive and I am sure that many wonderful dragons have been left off. Your favorites perhaps. Mea culpa. That’s the way the cookie bounces sometimes. Having said that, please don’t hesitate to drop me the names, books, and authors of your favorite fire-lizards in the comments section. I’m always looking to beef up and add to my TBR list. And who knows, I might just expand this list in the future. <br />

<b>My Brief But Amazing Top 8 Dragons From Literature List<br />
</b><br />
<br />
1)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX4-NK1iBcF-UUHrH-bwMRv6DYfMdv153iIXISHGUS3Jbc43kisTCLnmxE3rOTCaTD2p5h8lPx9U3r77EDSzRPf3GNNawnd1dhnFqd6bdJ4fzeUecQiMmaCSzsf8a9WmZFltK4FKFWVxVS/s1600/the-dragon-smaug.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX4-NK1iBcF-UUHrH-bwMRv6DYfMdv153iIXISHGUS3Jbc43kisTCLnmxE3rOTCaTD2p5h8lPx9U3r77EDSzRPf3GNNawnd1dhnFqd6bdJ4fzeUecQiMmaCSzsf8a9WmZFltK4FKFWVxVS/s320/the-dragon-smaug.jpg" width="320" height="240" data-original-width="1511" data-original-height="1134" /></a> <br />
<b>Smaug</b>— Who would be foolish enough to exclude this magnificent specimen? The inimical brainchild of J.R. R. Tolkien’s <i>The Hobbit</i> is the king of Lonely Mountain’s treasure trove. A dragon’s dragon, and by many accounts, one of the richest fictional beasts, raking in between 54 and 61 Billion according to Forbes (2012 and 2013) <br />
<br />
2)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6gzTmGgXEEcuAi_pRLoovMV95F46zZn6uS6EFFqpVlxuD99U7KMMlolVgZeKcOgUlARETzgleDuZ3GvIa738i6aP35C8C2mxjTgA4llgqgrVJQvmtnzuJglAscBhRTjD2_zWsQfkBOF5X/s1600/Sapira.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6gzTmGgXEEcuAi_pRLoovMV95F46zZn6uS6EFFqpVlxuD99U7KMMlolVgZeKcOgUlARETzgleDuZ3GvIa738i6aP35C8C2mxjTgA4llgqgrVJQvmtnzuJglAscBhRTjD2_zWsQfkBOF5X/s320/Sapira.jpg" width="228" height="320" data-original-width="729" data-original-height="1024" /></a> <br />
<b>Sapira</b>— One of my absolute favorites. I’m a huge fan of Christopher Paolini. If you’ve never read any of his works, I highly recommend you start with <i>Eragon</i> his first book of his <i>The Inheritance Cycle</i>. The title character, Eragon, rears Sapira from hatchling to full-fledged dragon. The bond between them is phenomenal and she helps the hero become a dragonrider. Some really great repartee. Sapira’s passion and emotional intelligence can rival just about any warm-blooded being in literature. <br />
<br />

<b>Orm Irian</b>— The stunning red-gold dragon that morphs into her human form at the Dragon Council Meeting to broker peace among the humans and dragons in <i>The Other Wind</i>, Book 6 of <i>The Earthsea Cycle</i> by Ursula K. Le Guin. Orm Irian is the sister of Tehanu and the eldest daughter of Kalessin. When she transforms, she stuns the Council with her eloquent speech. Her eyes reveal her true self “a vast shimmer of smoky gold that dwarfed the King and throne” (Le Guin). <br />
<br />

<b>Errol</b>— the lovable swamp dragon from Sir Terry Pratchett’s 8th book from the <i>Discworld Series, Guards! Guards!</i> Errol is a spunky underdog type, what I would call the Rudy Ruettiger of dragons who ends up winning your heart. <br />
<br />

<b>Ruth</b> – from <i>The Dragonriders of Pern Series</i> by Anne McCaffrey. If Ruth doesn’t prove that good things come in little packages then I don’t know what does. Smart and agile, a leader of men and dragons and oftentimes mistakenly classified as the white or albino dragon. There are many shades glimmering in Ruth’s marvelous armor. <br />
<br />
6)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLsC7h4lBut0q2agop7-XHDDYZsmDXd-JntwWqAMbBir-ZjAz0ydxp56B5BuQZJdCIeaHvqappjBdGBJNvkMJIRamNoDGyc1b0D_OkJhKpHC3KlFRUIbqQm4d-msWTvq9imVV0b4Zy002-/s1600/norberta.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLsC7h4lBut0q2agop7-XHDDYZsmDXd-JntwWqAMbBir-ZjAz0ydxp56B5BuQZJdCIeaHvqappjBdGBJNvkMJIRamNoDGyc1b0D_OkJhKpHC3KlFRUIbqQm4d-msWTvq9imVV0b4Zy002-/s320/norberta.jpg" width="320" height="275" data-original-width="185" data-original-height="159" /></a><br />
<b>Norberta</b>— the Norwegian Ridgeback from the <i>Harry Potter Series</i> by J. K. Rowling. So I felt compelled to spice up the contents of my fire-lizard list. She is an absolute handful and a true challenge to house-train. Norberta did plenty of damage Hagrid’s home, but was definitely worth all the fuss. <br />
<br />
7)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisAZJJ3EigK5qXQgbDiycdg1ualamXVo0E45KwwxlbRM4ALT4TrevvRnCZNm8iAmcVnnNtFeE7hzYK0K20l1295rontsWIx4PdGV7K_DyPB9AW3GXS7Q53QQfQUuMWNkRXnAnLypUieMaF/s1600/falkor.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisAZJJ3EigK5qXQgbDiycdg1ualamXVo0E45KwwxlbRM4ALT4TrevvRnCZNm8iAmcVnnNtFeE7hzYK0K20l1295rontsWIx4PdGV7K_DyPB9AW3GXS7Q53QQfQUuMWNkRXnAnLypUieMaF/s320/falkor.jpg" width="320" height="320" data-original-width="105" data-original-height="105" /></a><br />
<b>Falkor</b>— from <i>The Neverending Story</i> by Michael Ende. As luck would have it, Falkor made the cut. That’s a little pun since Falkor is classified as a luckdragon. As pal and sidekick of Fantastica’s wunderkind, Atreyu, I felt compelled to include Ende’s whimsical creature. <br />
<br />

<b> Rhaegal</b>— Last, but certainly not least there’s the mighty green-bronze dragon from George R. R. Martin’s <i>Game of Thrones Series</i>. Who can ever forget the Battle of Winerfell?<br />

Keep Writing. <br />
<br />
It’s that simple and that complicated. After you’ve poured your heart and soul into your book, you might be inclined to take a breather or go on vacation. You’ve earned it. Right? Indeed you have, but you cannot lose momentum. <br />
<br />
Personally, I prefer to keep it going. Whether the ideas are still flowing or if they’ve temporarily dried up. Staring at a blank page can be daunting. There are a few tricks you can use to get going. Start with a scene. It doesn’t have to be the opening to the book. In fact, you may not have that part established. But hopefully you know the main characters.<br />
<br />
If the book is the second of a series then you already know the background of the characters. Start from there. If you are writing a completely new book then you may want to consider who your characters are. Get to know them. When I start a completely new project and need to figure out who my characters are, I like to create bios for my main characters. I’m not likely to include it in the actual story, but it helps me clarify who they are and what motivates them. You need to know what motivates your characters in order to write engaging stories. This is especially useful in dialogue as characters who have specific goals will speak passionately about what they want and can drive your scenes.<br />
<br />
Some writers prefer plotting before they jump into their scenes. This is a good technique too. It lets you establish a blueprint and gives direction. I use a hybrid. I like to do some free writing combined with plotting so that I don’t feel completely confined, but I always come back to my plot because I want stay on track. Now it is perfectly okay to make adjustments to the plot as well if you feel that it enhances your story arc. <br />
<br />
Make sure that you establish a writing routine. It seems really simple, but it makes a huge difference 1) if you have one and 2) you actually stick with it. Since I am a morning person, I like to get up early and write. If that works great! Others are night owls and prefer to write when the kids are asleep. Either way is fine. I know some writers who like writing on the bus or on the subway. What works for you is fine. I believe the key is consistency. Pick a time that you can sit for a while and write. <br />
<br />
Give yourself a word count. I know that sounds a little forced, but it gives you a goal to shoot for. Writers need goals and deadlines. Repeat that. I know that there are some writers out there who have an inner editor chirping in their ear. That’s tricky if you are trying to get out a slew of new material. The main thing is to find a word count that is challenging, but doable. Don’t make it too large that you will get frustrated. Word counts are less important when you get to your later drafts. <br />
<br />
Now, if you are the other type of writer, the prolific one, then keep plugging away. If the ideas keep coming you might as well get them down and worry about the editing part later on. After all, most of the real work comes during the editing process when you re-envision your work. Think of it this way. You can always toss the parts you don’t like, but if you have no raw material to work with you are stuck with all the heavy-lifting. <br />
<br />
Write on. <br />

<br />
Somebody recently asked me why I decided to write a Fantasy Adventure novel. My first response was a bit glib and shortsighted on my part. Why not? I said that I had always wanted to write one, but I wasn’t sure I could do it and I wanted to prove it to myself. The more I considered it though, I knew that my motivation went much deeper than that. Now while it may partly have been true that I wasn’t sure I could pull it off, my real reason for saying that was because I was passionate about proving two things. <br />
<br />
One: that I wanted to fully immerse myself into a new realm. One that pushed the boundaries of my imagination. Two: I also wanted to make sure my story had the good flesh and bones of a legit fantasy novel. For good or bad, the Fantasy genre has always suffered from the unfortunate stereotype of being a guilty pleasure read. Not for the hardcore mind you, but in terms of the greater literary world it’s not often compared to the classics. In school everybody reads <a href="https://www.audible.com/ep/title?cvo_campaign=42216486&gclid=CJ7Y5JDI2uMCFQamswodAcQBAQ&Matchtype=e&asin=B00K1HQVOQ&cvosrc=ppc.bing.to+kill+a+mocking+bird&cvo_crid=76622237410701&source_code=MSNGBWS0805169030&device=d&msclkid=e77679c49e19167876d424fbbedc6c75&gclsrc=ds">To Kill A Mockingbird</a>, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3876.The_Sun_Also_Rises">The Sun Also Rises</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJA27Jujzq4">Pride and Prejudice</a>, The Joy Luck Club, Great Expectations. But you would be hard-pressed to find any institution adding to its required reading lists the works: <a href="http://www.thehobbit.com/">The Hobbit</a>, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/series/40909-earthsea-cycle">The Wizard of Earthsea</a>, or <a href="http://www.dunenovels.com/">Dune</a>. <br />
<br />
Now you might say what about <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Frankenstein">Frankenstein</a>? Mary Shelley’s magnum opus is probably one of the greatest science fiction books. Ditto for George Orwell’s 1984. Okay, so maybe those works have crossed the genre barrier and will get added to a school’s required reading list, and probably Aldous Huxley’s <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0145600/">Brave New World</a>. I think the point that I am making is that there are those books that fall under required reading umbrella and then there are those books that will not, cannot, but will be devoured by the true fans of fantasy. I think detective and romance novels have plenty of dedicated readers too, but I am focusing this blog on fantasy. <br />
<br />
Getting back to what actually motivated me to write <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Acolyte-Amulet-Nebilon-Book-ebook/dp/B07VQHWRYX/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+acolyte+%26+the+amulet&qid=1564418188&s=books&sr=1-1">The Acolyte & The Amulet</a> was that I had been writing a number of bizarre, fantastical stories for a while. The more I kept at it, magic became the essential element. Not boundless snap your fingers magic where anything is possible, but a magic that had different grades of conjurers and spellweavers and consequences for all. Then my magical world of Nebilon was born and in it there was a precocious young girl named Luma who though was quite gifted in the ancient art had no real clue as how to control her incredible gift. From early childhood, she was a Seer and had the impeccable ability to scry and search into the future— kind of her own internal crystal ball. I kept writing stories about her and I couldn’t seem to let go. In fact, one day as I was earnestly trying to develop new standalone stories with new characters and new scenarios, I had what seemed like a déjà vu. Then as I was trying to reconcile what I was writing from what I was imagining, it became clear to me that it was my character, Luma nosing her way into my scene. <br />
<br />
I was writing a new story about a troubled weatherworker named Glanzing and it became quite apparent to me that he desperately required Luma’s help. The two did not hit it off right away, but there was something of a symbiotic or complimentary relationship between them that was necessary in order for them to accomplish their respective quests. Turned out, they were indeed, on the same quest. <br />
<br />
The Acolyte & The Amulet found a new path and slowly the quest was becoming clearer to me. After subsequent drafts, and many torturous tweaks and twists, I was able to finish the novel, but roughly three quarters of the way through it, I had a bittersweet moment. I had become so invested in my characters that I was beginning to get a bit melancholy because I knew the inevitable wasn’t far off. I would eventually have to put my characters to rest. The sad but true fact that every author faces. Authors who do not write series or sequels. <br />
<br />
It dawned on me then, that I didn’t have to let the adventure end where it did. Having read <a href="https://www.tolkiensociety.org/author/biography/">J.R. Tolkien</a>, <a href="http://www.cslewis.com/us/">C. S. Lewis</a>, <a href="https://www.ursulakleguin.com/">Ursula K. Le Guin</a>, <a href="https://www.terrypratchettbooks.com/">Terry Pratchett</a>, <a href="https://www.paolini.net/">Christopher Paolini</a>, and <a href="https://www.fantasticfiction.com/m/anne-mccaffrey/">Anne McCaffrey</a>, I knew that if wanted to see the growth of my characters carry on, I would have to write a sequel. At least. If not a full-fledged series.<br />
<br />
Since that was new for me, I had to take stock and see if I truly wanted to go in that direction. I actually started rereading the Earthsea Series and then the Discworld Series. I did that mainly as a stalling tactic so I wouldn’t have to make the tough decision. I needed to get away from myself, but it seemed that I got even deeper into those respective realms. And then, curiously enough, I found myself plunging deeper into the realms of my own Nebilon and beyond. More scenarios and characters emerged not all of which fit neatly into the first novel, which was perfectly fine. That gave me the impetuous to write the follow-up novel and so I did. <br />
<br />
I have often believed that there is a connection between reading and writing. One feeds off of the other. It’s not bite for bite or measure for measure. Sometimes you read a chapter and then you end up writing a paragraph or vice versa. Sometimes you only end up with a bunch of notes. I wouldn’t even call it direct inspiration, but I feel that going back to writers that one admirers can offer much more than a friendly escape. Returning to the works and the writers that one admirers stimulates creativity. <br />
<br />
As I am busy writing Book Two of the Nebilon Series, I am still mulling over possibilities for its title. That’ll come later. Hopefully. Most important is getting the thoughts down and scribbling away. Although, I will say this. It is kind of nice knowing that I have most of my characters lined up and ready to move ahead. Where they will go and what they do is still the big mystery? <br />

Stamp collecting rocks! There, I said it. Stamp Collectors live long and productive lives and our hobby helps perpetuate sustainability. Think intellectual recycling. We also build legacies for our families and sometimes come across rare gems that can help reduce our mortgages. But we’re not in it for the money. Ahem. It’s about the joy of finding beautiful pictures on wove, pelure, laid, or even granite or silk paper (to name a few of the materials). <br />
<br />
Many collectors love to fill their acid-free pages with topicals. There are societies dedicated to this endeavor, the ATA American Topical Association being the largest and one of the most venerable orgs. Maybe you caught them at the World Stamp Show 2016 at the Javits Center. Trains, Ships, Butterflies, and Cats are some of the most popular topicals. I myself enjoy locomotives from foreign countries. Also Coat of Arms, Chess, and Great Apes. <br />
<br />
Recently, I’ve begun to put my topical acumen from stamp collecting into my blog building. My list keeps blooming like those sea monkey packets from way back when. Remember those? Sometimes you only get seedlings. Most of the time though I get a slew of ideas from a few concrete images. Here’s a few of been working on:<br />
<br />
1— Cats (You didn’t think I’d let them astray?) <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5dair2rtiPVTBT5oNvzIJYnX3XAUbOTIhZAoFbwrKlgHFjVTzY9m9DZZiuARwHPWU9eI8EWm7kXVFOHjsONqX02IYfEKd0n5JGkog6nBGbovuhz4jAXA29sgor93QhDmFrVQ3haC16xJ5/s1600/IMG_20170202_193412.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5dair2rtiPVTBT5oNvzIJYnX3XAUbOTIhZAoFbwrKlgHFjVTzY9m9DZZiuARwHPWU9eI8EWm7kXVFOHjsONqX02IYfEKd0n5JGkog6nBGbovuhz4jAXA29sgor93QhDmFrVQ3haC16xJ5/s320/IMG_20170202_193412.jpg" width="240" height="320" /></a> <br />
<br />
Such a broad topic but ripe with possibility. I’ve been working on literary essays where cats play a strong part in stories. So far I’m exploring some Murakami short fiction, Ursula Leguin’s The Other Wind, Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone. Emily Ruskovich’s “Owl” (a 2015 O. Henry Prize Story) is absolutely brilliant and will knot my main thread. <br />
<br />
2— Chess<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFMsPT0LA8s1EU_A-kacTQPU-gKj2lgeOooeAkm9Rg8TYg3EjDvAzE9J5gbdilgVcs8Znhqo7qNkJSgz0tKjIETcn-a2JRpfXmzcsb0IdonzXABBYAXyRUmfUeNweIfG9cqiVv9kgVf0Nn/s1600/CHess.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFMsPT0LA8s1EU_A-kacTQPU-gKj2lgeOooeAkm9Rg8TYg3EjDvAzE9J5gbdilgVcs8Znhqo7qNkJSgz0tKjIETcn-a2JRpfXmzcsb0IdonzXABBYAXyRUmfUeNweIfG9cqiVv9kgVf0Nn/s320/CHess.jpg" width="240" height="320" /></a><br />
<br />
“All The King’s Horses” by Kurt Vonnegut is, bar none, my nes plus ultra favorite chess story. There’s Brad Leithauser’s novel Hence, which is pretty interesting, a man-versus-machine take on the game. For a breezy read, there’s Anthony Glyn’s The Dragon Variation kind of behind-the-scenes peek into the world competitive chess circa the 1960s. Of course, I’d be replete if I didn’t throw my own Shades of Luz into the mix. You recall those street chess hustlers don’t you? <br />
<br />
3— Fishing and Fisherman (and not Bobby Fischer) <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-Us_7QMcnTSLRfcruKZdEexzioKZM05FTNqIFwVfgKoHFqDXl5cQYRAZ06U63WonohdF-VaG2pkNu6jDdqFXIs11L0eLtF_IkSt7rPZoXnaFCP_KX2P__anTkWjXJ6WU7FwLUfAFbCCf/s1600/Ships.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-Us_7QMcnTSLRfcruKZdEexzioKZM05FTNqIFwVfgKoHFqDXl5cQYRAZ06U63WonohdF-VaG2pkNu6jDdqFXIs11L0eLtF_IkSt7rPZoXnaFCP_KX2P__anTkWjXJ6WU7FwLUfAFbCCf/s320/Ships.jpg" width="240" height="320" /></a><br />
<br />
Anton Chekhov has to top the bill for this category, but I find the novels of Craig Lesley to be some of the best fishing fiction ever. Check out his The Sky Fisherman which was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in 1996. You also can’t go wrong with Rick Bass. I’ll be culling through some of his collections right now.<br />
<br />
4— Baseball <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZZxuY_VYObR3pCL5UWfSyPBPevqzbllrV_HgN07iW6r9QISJjX8UsL4KjjQUa7mLWkMs1HQjb-m6a89Izx9mx8CjYcFln6-UVdftAEVTGl2v3eBOuh8FUqck1rzhil3Oaw1tBD0TyfqRZ/s1600/Baseball.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZZxuY_VYObR3pCL5UWfSyPBPevqzbllrV_HgN07iW6r9QISJjX8UsL4KjjQUa7mLWkMs1HQjb-m6a89Izx9mx8CjYcFln6-UVdftAEVTGl2v3eBOuh8FUqck1rzhil3Oaw1tBD0TyfqRZ/s320/Baseball.jpg" width="320" height="240" /></a><br />
The Natural by Bernie Malamud tops my list, but one of my favorite shorter stories is T.C. Boyles’ “The Hector Quesadilla Story”. How could I not include Stuart Dybeck’s “Death of a Right Fielder.” Michael Chabon’s “Smoke” is also not too shabby. One of my writing friend’s, Jon Sindell, has an excellent, politically-charged baseball novel called The Mighty Roman. <br />
<br />
These are some broad brushstrokes. Certainly, you can tinker with your topicals. In terms of stamp collecting, stuff like stamps on stamps, coins on stamps and famous stamp personalities (Sir Rowland Hill) on stamps have always been great categories. That mimetic juice has a lot of pulp. <br />
<br />
5—Books about Writers on Writing <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinvMyCLD_0UYl5yRTP3xkZDd71J-XZeJPF4bWk0M0h_lAfgEcp4E0lO8MPtL-w_4LOc-OotUl_22OHObYxsiVTfpsVnV-9qX8dwafOT3I1GPAL9qTJypVg-THhyphenhyphenw8PRJYW_bZUs2pRXcNi/s1600/Bard.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinvMyCLD_0UYl5yRTP3xkZDd71J-XZeJPF4bWk0M0h_lAfgEcp4E0lO8MPtL-w_4LOc-OotUl_22OHObYxsiVTfpsVnV-9qX8dwafOT3I1GPAL9qTJypVg-THhyphenhyphenw8PRJYW_bZUs2pRXcNi/s320/Bard.jpg" width="320" height="240" /></a><br />
<br />
Of course I’m a card-carrying Malamudian so I have to top another list with my maven. The Tenants is an amazing, later work of the great writers’ writer. It’s about the Sisyphean struggle to write and also about race and humanity. A truly brilliant work. Add it to your TBR. I mean like right now. Philip Roth seems to have this as an ongoing thread is much of his work. Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon is worth a read. <br />
<br />
So friends, I’ve hit my word count for the day. I’ll leave you with this golden nugget. Keep writing. Try stamp collecting. It’s not a hobby. It’s way of life. It’s thoroughly engrossing, and, it’ll give you plenty of topicals to consider. It’ll load up your basement too. <br />

Happy New You!<br />
<br />
Is there anything better than the fresh start of a new year? The tabula rasa quality to it. Maybe it’s because I’m a Capricorn that I’m so fond of January, and snowflakes (in small doses). Maybe it’s something else. I’ve had the good fortune of traveling over many Januarys, and in that time, I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to bask in many new experiences. Today I’d like to share a few memories from my favorite January Junkets.<br />
<br />
1 – Machu Picchu <br />
<br />
The coup de grâce. I still proudly sport my Hiram Bingham t-shirt (the archaeologist who stumbled upon M.P. back in 1911). There is nothing like scaling the sacred citadel. The fog looms as you climb up. It’s otherworldly. Majestic. It’s a heck of a trip just to get there from Cuzco. The clunky van that scoops you up and takes you on a bumpy ride. The train that snakes along Urubamba, then the second, clunkier van, and then the hike in your own weathered boots. Then the real trek begins, one of body, one of spirit. Your sinewy calves and burning hamstrings open into a new realm. When you reach the top, and peer out, you are on top of the world without a boundless view. <br />
<br />
2 – Florence<br />
<br />
What an amazing city for a loper! Florence is that city you can practically walk through in a day, and then you can go back and spend a lifetime trying to relish it. Relive and re-envision it. Enjoy a respite in the Boboli Gardens, chuckle at the tourists paying kingly sums for king-sized gelato cones across from the Duomo. Sit on the steps of San Lorenzo and read from a weathered paperback about the inexorable strife between the Guelfs and the Ghibellines. Plot out your next panini break. Become an artist. Fall in love.<br />
<br />
3 – Mar Del Plata, Argentina<br />
<br />
Spent a good chunk of my mornings whacking tennis balls on the red clay courts of various clubs, afternoons swimming at the beaches, dancing at night. I really did tango. Not well, but I gave it whirl. My carnivorous self gorged on <i>bife de lomo</i> and alwsy seemed to be hankering for more. My newfangled morning pick-me-up, mate sipped from a straw. <br />
<br />
4 – Seaside, Oregon<br />
<br />
The mellifluous sound of the Pacific splashing onto the shore and the burbling bubbles in the cold morning sand. I remember a seatless swing set on the beach during my morning strolls. Just the metal bars in the distance, my landmark, and a jetty way off. Gulls cackling to each other, enumerating their grievances, telling jokes. I was there, mainly to study. To earn my MFA in Creative Writing. It was a great time. <br />
<br />
5 – Disneyland (As an adult)<br />
<br />
I know your first thought might be “What a flouncy place for an adult?” but really there’s so magic there. Magic rediscovered. I’m not talking about visiting as a kid or even with your kid. I’m talking about a crisp and carefree time when I visited as a 19-year-old with my girlfriend and her family. Maybe I’ve always just been a big kid myself. I still have my stuffed Goofy.<br />
<br />
6 – Toronto<br />
<br />
I’ve often said that I could totally see myself here. I think I have an innate Canadian sensibility. I love Tim Horton donuts much more than Dunkin Donuts. I always keep an Alice Munro tucked under a pillow and by my coffee table. I think I spent 3 Januaries there so my memory, or more precisely, my memories are a pleasant conflation. Of course I was a good little tourist and skated at the rink by Nathan Phillips Square by City Hall (on my first trip). Something akin to skating at Bryant Park. Coffee in Yorkville then a yummy falafel. Spent time admiring old Victorian homes in Cabbagetown, walking around like I belonged. <br />

<br />
Yup, it’s that time of year again. Time to make the list. Time to make the donuts. Throw down the gauntlet and take on your biggest challenge. Wait, not that big.<br />
<br />
There’s a bunch of ways to slice it, but I’m going to take another path. The painless path. You say easy. I say different. <br />
<br />
Humor me. For fun, I’ve made a list of 7 New Paths to take for 2017. Lucky 7. The pursuit of excellence. The pursuit of ergonomically untested waters. Maybe just the pursuit of take the edginess off things. Comprende? Only 3 of the ones listed below are ones I’d genuinely consider. I’ll let you figure that out for yourself.<br />
<br />
I think this is a healthy exercise and I’d urge you to do the same. <br />
<br />
List on. <br />
<br />
1— Become a Unicyclist <br />
<br />
Why not? You get plenty of exercise. It’s an eco-friendly way to travel and now with all the bike lanes around it’s an efficient way to get from point A to point B. And with all the Citi Bikes hogging up all the limelight, this would be a great way to steal some of their thunder. Get it. A way to stand out. From what I gather, it’s also a natural segue to make it into the Big Apple Circus and a helluva lot less dangerous than sticking your head into a lion’s mouth or teetering on the trapeze artist’s wire line. <br />
<br />
2— Backgammon Champ<br />
<br />
It’s the frustrated Chess Player’s best shot at making it into the big time. No Giuoco pianoing required. You can throw your textbook theory out the window (out of a moving vehicle). Combining Fancy Checkers luck and skill you can either be hustler of obscure playing parlors or take your gaming on the pro tour. Truth be told, I’ve always like been really smitten with their carry cases. <br />
<br />
3— Goatherd <br />
<br />
I’m going to get metaphorical on you. These guys constantly get lumped in with shepherds. They’re not the same at all. First off, I prefer goats and their milk and their cheese. Who doesn’t like goat cheese? I think some of their stubbornness could rub off on me (in a good way). think of all that fresh air and the dewy smell of grass. <br />
<br />
4— Fantasy Ball Player (Batter Up) <br />
<br />
This is totally doable. I could really sink my teeth (or cyber cleats) into this. I’ve always said immersing yourself in all the infinite possibilities is the best way to enjoy the ol’ American pastime. There’s something very Borgesian or is it Borgeseque about it too. The infinite possibilities that is. <br />
<br />
5— Tat Artist <br />
<br />
Yeah kid. This is the ticket. No doubt. They make some pretty good coin too. No reason to fiddle with finger paints and Crayolas forever. New Year means New Horizons. New Outlook. Newness. Ink it! <br />
<br />
6 – Lightsaber Inspector<br />
<br />
You wanted me to wield the laser sword? Admit it, didn’t you? Puh. I’m not taking those kind of chances. I’ll still play a great part, a bit part to be sure, but a safe part. Thank you very much. I want to keep all my limbs and eyeballs in 2017. The Balance of the Force will be in my Nivea-enriched hands. Come on, don’t try to play it off. You know that you’d kill to be that special somebody who ironed out all the chinks of the most awesome weapon in 17 and half galaxies and made it possible for the newfangled Jedi Knight Master to the N-teenth power to take care of business until infinity and day. Yeah. <br />
<br />
7—Wizard <br />
<br />
This shouldn’t come as a total shock to my closest peeps. You know who you are. Let me make it absolutely clear just what I mean by being a wizard. Of course I’d love to have a trusty wand and make potions spew from the unsuspecting mouths of baby sparrows and spill out of Tupperware containers stuffed with tofu. It would like be super often to have that capability, but nay, I’ve got a different hankering for 2017. I’m going Bard up. Bard in the true wizardly sense— you know, engage in the musicality of the cosmos and whatnot. Find the right muse and pull the stuffing out and spread the love.<br />
<br />

<br />
I’d like to take a moment to announce the upcoming release of my story collection “Something Like Bliss.” The Kindle release is pretty much slated for January 29th 2017, roughly a fortnight from the Tropic of Capricorn. I’m practicing a Capricorn, as you might already know. While I had originally planned on putting out my book this past June, a number of obstacles prevented this from happening. I find I keep tripping over life or it keeps tripping over me. Anyway I’m excited to see this project finally coming into fruition. All of the stories, save one, have been published in literary journals. Below you will find a roster of the lucky lit mags. Three of my stories first appeared in my MFA Thesis at <a href="https://www.pacificu.edu/">Pacific University</a>. They’re tickled pink to be freed from their buckram binding.<br />
<br />
Many of the stories in this collection cross genre boundaries as well as myriad emotional landscapes. “El Mariachi” is set in Mexico and centers on the unrequited love a young man has for his aunt. “A Private Language” is an updated, reconfigured Stand By Me, following the lives of 4 latchkey boys, culminating in a gruesome moment that will forever change them. Some of the stories have a fabulist element. “Rejects from the Pretzel Factory” is a comical take on the exploitation of a sweet old lady, a former Rockette, who has been roped into a greedy corporation’s ad campaign. Also, included is “The Itch of Runaway Souls,” which was published this past April in the new insert of the Chicago Tribune’s Printers Row. <br />
<br />
I’m not going to pretend I don’t have a favorite, but I’m also not going to share that with you either. Gonna play possum. Seriously though, I waited a long while to share this collection with the public because I wanted it to be just so. I’m most passionate about shorter works. I’ve always been a devoted reader of pithier prose: Flannery O’Connor, <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/01/what-it-really-means-to-be-kafkaesque/283096/">Kafka</a>, Borges, Chekhov, Bernie Malamud. And of those writers who go long, I favor their short stories: <a href="http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/tip-sheet/article/63604-the-10-best-haruki-murakami-books.html">Haruki Murakami</a>, Thomas Coraghessan Boyle, <a href="http://www.bonniejocampbell.com/">Bonnie Jo Campbell</a>, Hannah Tinti, Pete Fromm, <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4764.Philip_K_Dick">Phillip K. Dick</a>. <br />
<br />
Maybe the time we live in is indicative of my predilection for concise works. I believe it’s Francine Prose who says something <br />
to the effect that in short stories “each word must go on the trial of its life” in order to make it into the final cut. Something like that, and when it works, it’s something like bliss. <br />
Thanks for all of your support and I look forward seeing you at the upcoming readings and such. <br />

(This article first appeared in Appellation Wine And Spirits newsletter on 5/17/12)<br />
<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqu%C3%A8re">Jacquère</a> isn’t a garage band, a perfume, or cool way of pronouncing the maestro of boutique chocolates. It’s a variety that rarely finds its way onto a brunch menu, but that’s not the grape’s fault. For one, it’s hard to find, flourishing in the heart of Savoie. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hugh-Johnsons-Pocket-Wine-Book/dp/1845337441">Hugh Johnson</a> refers to it as alpine Muscadet. <br />
<br />
This noteworthy stuff is found in the village of Chignin which nestles between the communes of Les Marches and Montmélian southeast of The Bauges Mountains. Chignin also refers to the cru in the Vin de Savoie appellation which is often shortened to Savoie. Production is tiny. They make less than a fiftieth of the production in Bordeaux. Hello matchbox. The Bauges Mountains are part of the culprit and the diffused vineyards also add to the slim pickings. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.vignerons-de-nature.com/domaine/domaine-gilles-berlioz/">Domaine Gilles Berlioz</a> makes a polished Chignin. This Berlioz is no relation to the composer, but don’t hold that against the biodynamic maverick. The estate’s been practicing biodynamics since 2005. I find this wine to have a delicate aromatic structure of white flowers and just an insouciance of Mackinaw peach. Pale-toned, it is bantamweight, and earmarked for those who value reticence over car chases. I get citrus peel more than I get pulpy juice. There’s also a zestiness girded by a stony minerality. The Bourget Lake, the largest natural lake of glacial origin in France, is probably to thank for this. Lighter-bodied and well-balanced, Berlioz Chignin will go just as well with steamed mussels as with Gouda and wheat crackers. Daredevils might want to try it with medium-spicy Mexican fare— Huarache and Chilaquiles.<br />

<i>In honor of The Year of The Monkey, I am sharing this chapter from my 2009 novel <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6893445-shades-of-luz">Shades of Luz</a>. Considering how the world economy is moving into another recession, I think this passage about dart-slinging monkeys picking stocks is particularly poignant, but what do I know. On the other hand, neither does your so-called financial advisor.<br />
</i><br />
<br />
<b>Ahem, Dartboard Theory, Is It?</b><br />
<br />
We were greeted by a fellow in a grubby lab coat. His name was Gus and he chaperoned the dart-slinging monkey room. Two humans, but only one monkey, were allowed in the room at any given time. This was strictly followed so as to prevent too much mammalian mimicry. The object was to keep things as random as possible. The monkeys were kept in holding cells, but they had a beautifully painted mural of St. Tropez or Lagos. <br />
<br />
Gus coached through the Plexiglas. On the outside of the door two numbered ladders hung by copper thumbtacks, one ranked the monkeys and the other ranked the trainers. The term trainer was really a misnomer, but who was I, at that point, to make a stink. <br />
<br />
Newspaper clippings lined the walls. Rudy, last year’s crackerjack, watched over his monkey, Nietzsche. Rudy’s name topped the ladder outside. He had good rapport with Nietzsche, the lone Rhesus of the lot. Nietzsche made three quick dart tosses each a foot apart from each ticker symbol. Rudy waited behind the masking tape on the floor, the line of demarcation where a monkey needed to stand in order to make his toss. Nietzsche gave his trainer a high-five. <br />
<br />
Nobody knew what boomers would boom at least for a week although short-swing breakouts happened by market close. Boomer, referred to a stock that was going to bust through its resistance level and soar into a new stratosphere. No guarantees, but this was the accepted premise. There was no tickertape of any kind in the room. According to Gus, the monkeys might grow smitten with the flashing glow of certain ticker symbols and thus skew the random element driving dart board theory. It occurred to me that even if the monkeys were drawn to a glowing symbol that didn’t mean they weren’t going to tag that respective stock. Stereoscopic vision or not, the monkeys didn’t see such blurry newsprint from their vantage point. <br />
<br />
A note on random. It was widely accepted that any stock could bolt into its own orbit, plunge into disrepute, or mosey ad nauseam sideways without a care in the world. The point being, that no cocksure dweeb could cook enough data to prove that his theories rocked the pure and accidental. <br />
<br />
“Charlie, you and the new guy are up,” Gus said. <br />
<br />
We waited by the door until Rudy came out with Nietzsche. Gus pulled Nietzsche by his fury digits and led him to his holding cell. <br />
<br />
“Should we wait,” I said. <br />
<br />
“Nah, let’s warm up,” Charlie said. <br />
<br />
“What do you mean?” <br />
<br />
“We’re getting fresh monkeys,” Charlie said, “Maybe even a couple <br />
that have never tossed a dart before. We’ll need to break them in.” <br />
<br />
No sooner did Charlie finish cracking his knuckles did Gus return with two new monkeys. One was a snow monkey the other was a <br />
macaque. Charlie tossed a couple of darts, neither of which stuck to the wall. His monkey almost seemed to be laughing. Actually, it was pretty funny. Charlie’s tosses sucked. The first one didn’t even reach the wall. The second was a creampuff, an underhanded toss tail-first against the wall. <br />
<br />
“Okay, enough,” Gus said. <br />
<br />
He knocked on the Plexiglas then made a slicing motion across his <br />
throat with his right hand. <br />
<br />
“Give it a whirl, Benny Boy,” Gus said. <br />
<br />
With that, I clutched my darts. I was afraid I’d prick myself and didn’t look at my hand. Darts was never my bag. I tossed all three with quick snaps. Each one hit the wall with a ping, the second one dead center of a ticker symbol. It didn’t matter which part touched. It counted. A bull’s eye, on the first try, must have been dumb luck, but it still felt <br />
good. <br />
<br />
I couldn’t quite make out what Gus was saying behind the soundproof glass, but I saw his mouth curl into an O. When I pulled the second dart from the wall I noticed I’d hit the letter O, right in the hole. For some reason this made me flinch. <br />
<br />
My monkey followed me to the wall and tugged my pant leg. I didn’t hand over the darts till Gus tapped the glass. My monkey almost jerked them out of my hand. At least, it seemed that way. He made three quick chucks. Each landed within a close range, as if he were trying to hit the same mark. Two of them actually did. <br />
<br />
When I escorted my furry friend out, Gus put his hand up blocking me from crossing the hall’s threshold. <br />
<br />
“You know, you’d be disqualified because you didn’t set him behind the line.” <br />
<br />
“What?” <br />
<br />
“They always need to stay behind the line,” Gus said, “No exceptions.” <br />
<br />
I then looked down at the masking tape on the floor and shrugged my shoulders. <br />
<br />
That night I dreamt of great apes, monkeys, and prosimians. I was a hominid trapped in a mud bath and the apes tossed stones, nuts, anything and everything at me; couple of them busy sharpening spear points. A whole pile lay there waiting for my nose as its bull’s-eye. They picked them up and flung them at my head and when they cracked, egg dripped all over my face. <br />
<br />
Woke up in a cold sweat. Took a hot shower with a brand new loofah sponge and scraped off dead and itchy skin. <br />
<br />

<br />
Quick: What pops into your head when you hear the word “buff”? I’ll bet you’re thinking of a brawny guy who’s got hulkish traps, twenty-four inch pythons, and has difficulty fastening the top button of his Perry Ellis. Well, I’m not thinking about that “buff”, and frankly I could care less about those clunkheads. I’m more interested in sharing the roots of the term “buff” that we associate with a wonkish person, somebody who is really passionate and knowledgeable about some said subject matter like a Civil War buff or an Opera buff. <br />
<br />
The word “buff”, as in a person who is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a particular subject has an interesting etymology, and came about in the early 19th century. It was originally more of a putdown than a compliment. Back then, in the burgeoning New York City, between the 1820s— 1840s, an ad-hoc clutch of volunteer firemen were needed to put out fires. In periods of cold weather, men of this era wore buffalo hide coats, and there were often large crowds, eagerly watching the volunteers hosing down the fires. Buff came from splicing the Middle French word buffe meaning buffalo which had already gone out of fashion somewhere in the 18th century, but had been used even as far back as the 16th and 17th century to refer directly to the skin or hide. Back then, to “be in the buff” meant to be in the army as soldiers wore coats made of hide. The term “buff” naked also owes its heritage to this association of animal skin. <br />
<br />
While the pejorative sense of the word “buff” has all but dissipated, the term itself has become dated. You’re more likely to hear somebody say that so-and-so is a stamp geek or a wine wonk. You’re probably even more likely to hear somebody calling that aforementioned stamp geek, a philatelist, and the wine geek, an enophile. That’s because we love to name names if I might snag that Seinfeld line. Not that there’s anything wrong with calling somebody a geek now. In fact, many wine wonks I spend time with sort of relish the moniker. I’m not even sure if I deserve it myself with all the MWs loping around these days. <br />
<br />
Now back to the “buff” you were thinking about. That hunky “buff” became a fixture in the 1980s when everybody was “getting physical”. It’s a spinoff of the verb “buff” meaning to polish metals. Even that “buff” seems dated, but less so than the smartypants type. <br />
<br />
There you have it. Just indulge me in one last thought. Consider it a homework assignment or a little harmless fun to have at the gym. Watch the musclehead flexing as he curls in front the mirror at Blink. Could he be a buff geek or a buff wonk? If your trainer poses that question as you’re heaving a medicine ball then you just tell him or her that it’s too superfluous to think about anyway. <br />

<br />
One of the things I really love about Italian wine is that you always seem to stumble upon a new varietal, a new appellation. You can go a lifetime and still never truly be a master of its boundless bounty. In terms of attaining its regional prowess, Italian wine is a juggernaut. Recently, I had a chance to taste <a href="http://www.marotticampi.it/">Marotti Campi’s</a> Lacrima di Morro d’Alba Superiore ‘Orgiolo’ from the 2012 vintage, a truly elegant and delicious wine. It hails from the region of Marche, off the Adriatic. <br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/italy/umbria-and-le-marche/le-marche">Marche</a> is known for its crisp Verdicchio and its <i>brodetto</i>, fish soup, which makes for a sumptuous pairing. Marcheans love raw fish or <i>crudo</i> and take advantage of their propinquity to the Adriatic. Their predilection for seafood, especially <i>crudo</i> make them the Peruvians of Italy. Their wine is excellent though not ubiquitous, and their wonderful reds fall even further under the radar. <a href="http://www.bbr.com/region-3876-rosso-conero">Rosso Cònero</a> and Rosso Piceno are two standouts, but both focus on neighboring blends: Sangiovese from Tuscany and Umbria, and Montepulciano which is mostly associated with Abruzzo. Geographically speaking, this does make sense. <br />
<br />
The sleeping beauty of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marche">Marche</a> is the expressive red, <a href="http://fringewine.blogspot.com/2011/02/lacrima-di-morro-dalba-marche-italy.html">Lacrima di Morro d’Alba</a>. Native to area Lacrima di Morro almost went extinct in the mid 80’s. Fortunately, a small but zealous following of growers rescued it from its evolutionary cul-de-sac, and thus helped secure its DOC designation in 1985. With a mere 261 hectares under vine, Lacrima di Morro d’Alba remains one of Italy’s smallest appellations, bottling a little more than 9100 hectoliters a year. <br />
<br />
Lacrima means tear in Italian. Its skin is very sensitive, and when it gets close to harvest, the grapes seem ready to burst, their ruby rivulets, seeping from the pierced skin are said to suggest tears. The Lacrima grape is a local varietal of unknown origin, although legend has it the grape was relished by Morro d’Alba’s most famous interloper, <a href="http://www.britannica.com/biography/Frederick-I-Holy-Roman-emperor">Frederick Barbarossa</a>. After the red-bearded Holy Emperor had marched into Ancona in 1167, he passed through the Castello di Morro d’Alba and is said to have grown smitten with the Lacrima-based wine. And why should that be so hard to believe? It’s beguiling floral aromatic reminds me of Ruché and Cesanese, it’s sensual mouthfeel offering a more Rhone-like or even cru-level Beaujolais, maybe Fleurie. The medley of flavors is a wine wonk’s dream come true. I get both redder and bluer berries, some juniper, curiously enough, and allspice. The tannins are well-integrated, pillowy, and the unmistakable rose petal finish lingers. <br />
<br />
I’ve only had the varietal on a few occasions, and while I’ve enjoyed Lucchetti’s Lacrima di Morro and Velenosi’s Querci’Antica Lacrima, I’ve grown to enjoy Marotti Campi’s interpretation the most. I find it most compelling. What can it be that makes it so? All come from the Medieval village of Morro d’Alba. Could it be the hand of the enologist, Roberto Potentini and his choice to soft crush the grapes, macerating on the skins for almost 11 days? Or that he ferments in stainless steel and ages the wine for 12 months in second and third passage barriques, and an additional 6 months in bottle before release? Maybe it’s Ivano Belardini’s decision to pick in the last days of September rather than in the first week of October or maybe it’s just the mix of medium-consistency clay and the cordon spur trained vines ranging between 10 and 35 threes old that appeals to me? Do I really taste all that? <br />
<br />
What I do know is that when I to peer out at this marvelous 19th century estate, perched 180 meters above sea level between the villages of Senigallia and Jesi, north of the Esino river, the Apennines looming in the distance, I get this incredible sensation, munching on fresh-plucked berries, it might just be what Redbeard had swimming in his noggin before he decided to spare this village and move on to bigger fish. <br />

A few days ago, while I was taking care of Emily, I handled a major league mess like a real pro. My wife, Martha, would’ve flipped out. Lucky for Emily I was on duty. I was in the bedroom, tending to some work. Emily was in the living room playing. It should be noted, and I think parents everywhere can concur, that if your child is up to something you’ll find it unbearably quiet.<br />
<br />
Boy did I want a big scoop of quiet. I’m so used to being the butler, Walking Wikipedia, and playing companion to my princess that I’ll do almost anything for a contiguous, twenty-minute reprieve. When Emily rushed into the bedroom, asking for scissors, this should’ve raised the red flag, but I needed to look up something before sending out an email or else consign my urgent message to draft status (to infinity and beyond). About three minutes later, I’m guessing since I haven’t worn a watch since Kerry ran for president, I went into the living room to see what was going on out there. Emily, who knows my footsteps, and has a better sense of diplomacy than 90% of Washington and the UN combined, met me in the hallway and said, “Daddy, promise you’re not gonna tell Mommy. You know how mad she gets.”<br />
<br />
I promised her because that’s the best way to build leverage against a five-year-old when whatever she’s done is a complete catastrophe. <br />
<br />
Emily escorted me from the hall to the living room, and I saw that she had freed a dozen ceramic piggies, part of an art project my wife had been planning to do for Emily’s birthday party. That, of course, wasn’t a major catastrophe, but she shredded the inside of the box, and kernels of Styrofoam were strewn all over the floor. It looked like a Jiffy Pop explosion. Phoebe, our dilute calico, rolled around in the white crumble, festooning herself in enough Styrofoam that I could imagine my wife saying, <br />
<br />
“Get this package weighed and stamped.” It’s a longstanding joke. Martha’s a dog person.<br />
<br />
As I’d begun grabbing the Styrofoam bits, I thought of them as the soft peanuts that come in some boxes. Maybe I would be able to refit the piggies after all, but first I had a floor to clean. Soft peanuts, soft peanuts. Catchy. Where did I hear that before? Then a trumpet blew. Soft peanuts, soft peanuts. Of course, Dizzy Gillespie. I hadn’t heard “Salt Peanuts” (the real title) in a quite a while, but the phrase insinuated itself in my head, helped me get through the tedious chore. Emily found the song funny. I told her it was a riff on a song that Dizzy Gillespie recorded. She’s familiar with his “Nights in Tunisia”<br />
<br />
As I was air-trumpeting to the beat in my head, Piper was pushing one of the piggies off the dining room table. I rushed to save it in my stocking feet, dropped to my knees and snatched the piggy before it became shards of shame. I wondered if Tim Howard or Henrik Lundquist felt as good when they stopped a goal. <br />
<br />
Emily really felt badly, the rueful look on her face was legit, but she was relieved to be under my jurisdiction because I wasn’t going to scream my head off or threaten to give away her toys. She was determined to help, had procured the dustbin and short broom. As a team, it would take forever to get the job done, but at least we had “Soft Peanuts” to motivate us. At some point, I needed to get things moving along so I did what only the best daddies on this mudball do under similar snafus, I handed Emily the iPad, and let her watch “Paw Patrol”. This clearly put me in charge, letting me pick up the pace although Phoebe and Piper kept pestering me up until I grabbed the dustbuster. They bolted off when I flipped it on, and it was smooth vacuuming from there.<br />
<br />
Lessons learned: a silly riff goes a long way when faced with a domestic challenge, and always keep your dustbuster fully charged. <br />

<br />
<i>“Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.”</i><br />
Benjamin Franklin<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you are like most folks you are probably considering your New Year’s Resolutions. You’ve got until midnight to declare your intentions. No pressure. Can you recall when you started making resolutions? Were you in college, high school, or the third grade? You probably made some resolutions because your parents made them. Mom wanted to quit smoking or Dad wanted to finally clean up his den. <br />
<br />
Resolutions have been around a long time, and although nobody has proved it yet, I bet they popped up with the earliest agrarian societies, maybe even before. As far as records go, it is said that the ancient Babylonians were some of the earliest people on this mudball to make resolutions at the onset of the New Year. They did so, it is believed, to honor their gods by paying off their debts and returning their neighbors belongings. The Ancient Romans made promises to Janus so that he could absolve them of the previous year’s sins. <br />
<br />
When I was in my teens, my resolutions were all about improving my down-the-line backhand and getting more zip on my second serve. Even to grow a few more inches. That’s long behind me now. Thank goodness. At least, I think it is. So maybe tennis has become a sideline for me, a way to blow off some steam on weekends. While I’m no longer gunning for Wimbledon anymore, my resolutions have kept the same germ. Mine are about goals. Smaller ones perhaps, but I’ve never been the type of person who is looking to shed: weight, smoking, gambling. I’ve got my fair of vices, but as I lope into the New Year I think of starting fresh, doing instead of denying. <br />
<br />
I list places I’d like to visit, books I’m planning to read, journals I’m targeting to publish work. I also try to procrastinate less. This is one of those vices that has clung to me like a chummy barnacle. We’ve been living a symbiotic relationship for who knows how long. <a href="http://www.ushistory.org/franklin/info/">Benny Franklin</a> said be at war with your vices. I say be chums. <br />
<br />
When we make a formal resolution, we are said to be determined to follow a course of action with intended purpose. This word comes to us from Middle English (about 1350 – 1400). Merriam-Webster’s definition (a) states that it’s the act or analysis of a complex notion into a simpler one, and though this is not quite the specific definition we are homing in on when we make our annual pledge, I think this aspect nicely underscores the goal, which is to make our lives better, more focused. <br />
<br />
Being a writer, I also cannot help thinking of the story definition of resolution which is the abatement of conflict. Some epiphany is achieved and the central tension has dissipated. While this is a great notion, the fact is that the New Year’s Resolution, in all likelihood will create gobs of tension. You’ve thrown down the gauntlet and are trying to change traits or characteristics that have been natural to you that have made you who you are for probably umpteen years if not longer. <br />
No matter how hard it might be we still want to take another crack at our perceived shortcomings, and why not. <br />
<br />
I remember a conversation my parents had when I was a kid, about seven if memory serves me correctly. Mom and Dad enjoyed their sparkling wine. I sipped my Canada Dry. The room still redolent of pine needles. We never got rid of the tree until after the Epiphany, Ukrainian Christmas. Mom kept pressing my Dad to share his resolutions with her, and, after a couple of flutes of sparkling wine, he finally did. “I plan to do next year what I didn’t get around to this.” He flashed her his smirky grin, and I remember liking the glibness of that response— its understated sagacity.<br />
<br />
I’d like to think there’s a bit of that in me when I claw away at new things on the horizon: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underworld_%28DeLillo_novel%29"><i>Underworld</i></a> by Don DeLillo, the town of <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/06/dining/your-next-lesson-chablis.html?_r=0">Chablis</a>, and yes, publications in Narrative and Agni. I’m also hellbent on unearthing a real <a href="http://www.trilobites.info/">Trilobite</a> fossil. No, keep the shovel. Can you lend me a small awl and a toothbrush? This requires a soft touch and patience.<br />
Happy New You! <br />

Inspired by Jhumpa Lahiri’s recent essay <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/12/07/teach-yourself-italian">“Teach Yourself Italian,”</a> I’ve decided to share a memory from way back how I got into Italian. Our paths couldn’t be more different. Whereas Jhumpa’s was a full-on Neptune-plunge immersion into the briny sea of that rich <i>lingua</i>, mine is more of a wading, or, more to the point, a toe dip. <br />
<br />
In my freshman year of high school, I studied at Xavier in Manhattan. Prior to that, I had been tethered to the comfy confines of my childhood neighborhood, Forest Hills. I was both ecstatic and petrified about moving beyond that secure boundary. Besides having to commute to school by subway, I had to embark on the unbidden imposition of finding new friends. There was also the task of learning a new language. Nowadays kids start tinkering with a new tongue by the time they enter daycare. <br />
<br />
I remember the surprise I had when I first grabbed my schedule and noticed that my 3rd period class had mistakenly listed Italian 101 instead of Intro to Spanish. I broached the subject with Brother Ciprian in the main office, but he explained in his avuncular yet stolid voice (as Jesuits often do) that there was no mistake and that I’d better dash or I’d earn my first tardy for my Italian class. I wasn’t miffed by the encounter so much as I was curious as what to expect in class. I really didn’t know anybody who spoke Italian, and everybody who I’d met, who studied another tongue in school either took Spanish or French or Japanese on the weekend. I knew that Latin was a choice and so was German, but since my Kantian predilection hadn’t been born at this callow time, I didn’t even give German a shot.<br />
<br />
My teacher turned out to be a Dublin-born musician with a brogue thicker than her Irish-knit. She was very smiley and bubbling with ideas she’d been brewing since she’d just hatched from grad school. It was her first day too, and Ms. O’Shea wanted to make <i>amici</i> with her <i>gli studenti</i>. We were soon baptized with Italian names: Joe Simmons became Giuseppe, Lou Harris became Luigi, and, of course, I became Giovanni Gorman. <br />
<br />
We went around the room and shared a bit of ourselves. After that, Ms. O’Shea decided to play some music for us. She fished a <a href="http://www.maxell.com/">Maxell</a> tape from her bag and slipped it into her tape deck. In case you were wondering, a tape deck is this thing that played music before CD players and after phonographs. You could consider it the great granddaddy of the iPod. The song she played was a catchy tune called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frr65AEiFs8">“Lasciatemi Cantare”</a> by one <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frr65AEiFs8">Toto Cutugno</a>. It was nothing like the Louis Prima or Rosemary Clooney stuff I’d heard my parents or friends of my parents play. It was charmingly corny. “Lasciatemi Cantare” was pop music. Imagine Erasure or The Petshop Boys singing Italian. Okay, maybe I’m reaching, but it piqued my curiosity. Ms. O’Shea sang with a lot of feeling and most of us tried to match her musto. Warbling was about all we could offer. <br />
<br />
Toward the end of the first week, on a Thursday afternoon, Ms. O’Shea arranged for us to go to a café. Our procession of navy blazers headed to Union Square. I was still getting used to the snug cut of my blazer, and the bunching up at the elbows. Maybe you didn’t have to suffer such an indignity back in your formative years. It’s no easy fete getting a teenage boy to wear one, but having been uniform-groomed, for eight glorious years, it didn’t take long to make the transition. Plus, I was only too happy to shed my gray slacks and clip-on green ties from my old school.<br />
<br />
On the way to the café, I chatted with Paolo Bronsky who told me he was considering going out for the part of Maestro Borov in the school's Fall Production of <i>Bye Bye Birdie</i>. I told Paolo that I didn’t think that part was going to be available since we were supposedly putting together a show based on the original Broadway script, and the Maestro part was a Hollywood add-on. “Why not go out for the Mayor of Sweet Apple or Mr. Johnson if you want to land a shoe-in?” Paolo seemed to like the idea, and to be a good sport, he encouraged me to give Conrad a crack. <br />
<br />
It was nice to chat with somebody who a penchant for theatre (music theatre anyway). Paolo also was in his elementary school production of “Hello Dolly”, and I must say he sure looked like a Barnaby. We were bragging about who had more Playbills between us when Ms. O’Shea interrupted, asking if we preferred to grab our coffees outside rather than inside. Her attempt at rapport-building was not unwelcome, but a foursome grabbing the last outdoor spot nixed our al fresco experience.<br />
<br />
It was better inside. I told Miss O’Shea so and we ordered a round of cappuccinos. There were a few espressos too, and a couple of Coca-Cola-quaffers. We waited for Ms. O’Shea to go teacherly on us, but she ended up letting her hair down (even more so). Literally too, right out of her ponytail band. She passed out loose pictures of her trips to Italia. The architecture, sculptures, and piazza pictures were gorgeous, but she treated us to what really was more of the everyday experience. None of that postcard crap. So many faces, everyday Italians: kneading bread, selling fruit, bicycling, fishmongers hawking fresh catch, grannies wringing wet laundry. She had what seemed like a zillion pictures of food and people swooning over their food, gelato, salumi, wine. I’d already grown smitten with the land, the people. <br />
<br />
Ms. O’Shea only lasted a few months. She got a big break, a singing gig in Toronto. A Jesuit Brother took her place. We missed her terribly. I played sick for a couple of days, but I couldn’t duck out forever. I wished, the lame-brained wish she’d come back, but it wasn’t right for me to quash her <i>buona fortuna</i>. The think is, she really lit a spark for Italia in me, and when I think about it especially when I’m swigging a Docletto or slugging back my espresso, I’m so glad somebody in that office goofed and signed me up for her class, even though, more often than not, I still butcher my sentences. <br />

<br />
(This essay first appeared in <i>The Rose & Thorn</i> in The Fall of 2008)<br />
<br />
<br />
So you want to know my earliest realization that I was just another boob consumer? Trace it back to my Star Wars Action figure days. Fish out the collapsible C3PO from a war-torn pile of crummy Jawas and Storm Troopers, no they're all out of Snaggletooth again, but don't fret there's another Woolworth over by Fresh Pond Road if I could finagle my mom into a ride over there. The tough part was getting an advance on my already advanced allowance.<br />
<br />
The thing was, if you clipped off enough of those coupons from the back of the action figure packages you could get a really nifty limited edition something or another. Feast your eyes on <a href="http://www.bobafettfanclub.com/">Boba Fett</a>, the badass bounty hunter, puppet-strings of <a href="http://www.starwars.com/databank/jabba-the-hutt">Jabba the Hutt</a>. I was way psyched to be the first kid on the block with the hot new toy, especially since I'd read all about the missile that shot from Boba Fett's backpack-launcher.<br />
<br />
I played hooky in anticipation of the special delivery. Why waste a whole day through ho-hum math classes and those retarded fire drills when <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS9d6Z7nZJM">Boba Fett</a> could be hiding in my mailbox? Mom's deal was that if I stayed home I had to clean my room, take out the garbage, and other crap like that. In return, she promised to write my teacher a phony baloney sick note. She was quid pro quo all the way.<br />
<br />
The big day finally came, but when I tore apart the package, my action figure didn't have a launchable missile. It stuck there welded in place, without any buttons or levers to fire it out. I had to see for myself if it was possible to tweak the design to suit my bounty-hunting appetite. Equipped with a pair of pliers I fished out from under the kitchen sink, I went to work. Dislodging the missile was tricky. I started off gently and soon swung into a rhythm whereby my half-cranks turned into roundhouse yanks that finally stripped the ammo clean off Boba Fett's back. It left me with a weird numbing feeling. Maybe neuter was more like it. It's hard to say. As I sat there with the red, bean-sized missile in the pinch of my hand I just didn't feel like gluing the stupid thing back on.<br />
<br />
My buddy Kenji, the only other spoiled brat I knew who got everything he whined about, told me some dickweed from Oshkosh messed up his cornea blasting Boba Fett missiles off his front porch and that was why all the second batch figures were shipped neutralized. Kenji also mentioned that the puny Boba Fett was nothing compared to the new line (if you'll pardon the pun) that was being launched, scheduled to hit the stores for the holidays. According to him the new line would be as tall as Rom the Spaceknight. This brawnier Boba Fett would fill the void of the inferior one loafing under my bed.<br />
<br />
In the meantime Rom posed as my scab Boba Fett, until the bathtub incident whereupon the better part of his foot was caught and snapped off in the drain. Mom nursed Rom's foot with the gauze she used to bandage my hands when I hurt myself digging around for baseballs behind the old ball field. The rejuvenated Rom met his ultimate demise outside the fourth floor window of the boy's bathroom at my school. The parachute never opened.<br />
<br />
When Kenji popped in the original Stars Wars on his Betamax, we made some startling discoveries: 1) it was Han Solo, not Luke who killed the Rodian bounter hunter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedo">Greedo</a> — Kenji liked to call him Guido; 2) upon closer inspection it did look like Princess Lea had an armpit-sniffing fetish after she and Luke swung to safety by way of Luke's trusty grappling hook. 3) Jabba the Hutt had already made his first appearance despite Kenji's insistence that it was Return of the Jedi where the tub-of-slob made his debut.<br />
<br />
In their own right each of these were fascinating discoveries, but what bugged me, after catching <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080684/">The Empire Strikes Back</a>, was that Bosk, another mail-away bounty hunter, also had a nothing part. What was up with Kenner and their whole peddling enterprise gassing up kids' hopes, getting us all psyched up to covet their action figures when they took away the best features (AKA Boba Fett's missile-launcher)? And more importantly why were they pawning off these bit part bounty hunters? They didn't have any of the characters from the cantina, not a single one, though Kenji and I wrote numerous letters lobbying for them — to Kenner, the Star Wars Fan Club for Midgets, George Lukas, Obi-Won Kenobi, whoever. Our only reply smacked pomposity. Wait until the droid factory hits the shelves so you smart asses can build whatever figures you want. O.K. so maybe they didn't add that last part, but the sentiment was implied by the persnickety little ink-stamped signature on the bottom of the form letter.<br />
<br />
We didn't want more figures for the heck of it. We wanted to preserve the real-world integrity of Star Wars. Sure we had imagination, but it was cool to have Hammerhead and Walrus Man to spice up our battles.<br />
<br />
One day Kenji and I got into a fight because he thought I took his Luke Skywalker light saber, a very jaundiced weapon with part of the tip spliced off. I'd lost mine some weeks earlier and had inserted a colored toothpick into the aperture underneath Skywalker's wrist.<br />
<br />
“I didn't take your stinking light saber,” I said, “If you don't believe me, here, take the toothpick. You should clean your teeth.”<br />
<br />
That's just how I said it. Of course, it didn't go over well and that's when he called me a grub.<br />
<br />
“Not only are you a moocher,” he said, “But a copy cat too. You always want what I have.”<br />
<br />
At that moment, I was furious and hurt by the assessment. My integrity, manhood, and friendship were insulted. An only child tends to blast a floodlight inward when the looker only needs a flicker. I took it to heart. Later on when his mom offered us a plate of Oreos and two tall glasses of milk he apologized.<br />
<br />
“Forget it. I was only messing with you,” he said.<br />
<br />
The thing is that little squabble did mess with my head. I could take punches, noogies, and the occasional pile-driver, but it hurt more that he thought, even for that moment, I'd stoop so low and steal his figure. It wasn't the Jedi way.<br />
<br />
I don't really know when something loses luster. The cherished toy underneath the Christmas tree has a short half-life and simple, honest, malicious words leave permanent marks. To this day, I have a sweet spot reserved for Star Wars, though I wonder what's at stake when I trade figures on Ebay. What stories belong to the Han Solos, Darth Vaders, and Chewbaccas? Did two buddies have a break-up? Who were the bullies, the nerds, and all the others who played with them? These things I consider when making trades. Playing with another kid's old figures slips me into a forbidden past.<br />

Kenji and I stayed somewhat friends, saw each other now and then when we played ball, burnt ants, and honed our joystick waggling skills. We shied away from action figures. Maybe I keep up with the Star Wars studs because I'm trying to make up for lost time. Maybe I haven't grown up. <br />

Banville’s <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Blue-Guitar-A-novel/dp/0385354266">The Blue Guitar</a></i> is a fine yarn told by the aging artist, Oliver Orme. Right off the bat, he grabs the reader (tickles him really) with “Call me Autolycus.” This engaging intro, a clear nod to Melville, is more of a cannonball plunge into erudition than the chummy flair offered in Melville’s iconic opener. A brief refresher of high Greek drama is needed to unlock the symbolic significance. Autolycus, the son of Hermes and Chione, is known as the wolf. He wore a helmet that made himself invisible, and was a great thief. Our narrator, Oliver the artist, is also a seasoned swiper.<br />
<br />
The story is told, in reflection, by a self-absorbed artist, who is regaling the reader in his prurient past more so than unburdening his conscience. He calls his penchant for stealing as a “childish vice”, but really it is a reoccurring trope that ties in neatly with establishing the impetus behind his affair with Polly. He compares his first childhood theft in the art shop to his snatching Polly. “I did steal her, picked her up when her husband wasn’t looking and popped her in my pocket.” To extricate himself of the sheer banality of wrongdoing, he goes on to say that he stole things as “an attempt to break through the surface, to pluck out the fragments of the world’s wall and put me eye to the holes.” His vainglorious curiosity exonerates any wrongdoing. So Oliver leads us to believe.<br />
<br />
Banville is a logophile, and it’s a good idea to have something in the way of a pencil and scrap paper to jot down words to add to your own repertoire. Some fun and frolicky references to painters like a “Poussin sky” and “Bosch the devil-dreamer” are peppered through the story. At times, his prose, drips with newly dappled paint droplets: “pink-cheeked shepherdesses and pirouetting ballerinas, blue-coated Cherubinos in powdered wigs.” After his estranged paramour, Polly catches up with him after some years, Oliver describes her “with her fist pressed to her cheek … like that oddly burly angel in Dürer’s Melancolia.” He’s miffed that she has discovered him holed up in his childhood home, never gave her credit for piecing together the meaningful scraps he’d shared from his past. It underscores his appalling lack of sensitivity. Things heat up when Polly confesses she messed up and admits she has ebbed into the profound cliché of going back home herself, to her mother. Polly asks Oliver to take her and her daughter there, and Oliver obliges.<br />

<br />
Sicilian reds are already on the map, and burgeoning in popularity. Nero d’Avola is old hat. People ask for Cerasuolo di Vittoria by the case, by the truck if they have a deep enough cellar. Grillo is wonderful goto with steamed mussels. And who doesn’t love to say Frappato? I’m hooked on saying it myself. It reminds me of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMwiIBueWxc">Fraggle Rock</a>, sound-wise. Also, it gives me a Muppet-fuzzy sensation. Even Nerello Mascalese is no longer an oddball. Not since Etna Rosso has become shamelessly fashionable.<br />
<br />
What still might be under-the-radar are Sicilian whites. Sure we’ve swigged Marsala, but most of us don’t go hunting for its constituents (except for Grillo). The other two blending buddies Catarratto and <a href="http://www.winegeeks.com/grapes/239">Inzolia</a> are underappreciated, if not unknown to most wine lovers. As their mono-varietal selves, they make some very interesting and refreshing light to medium-bodied summer quaffers, but also have the stuff to be enjoyed all year long. Inzolia in particular. <b>Inzolia</b> is a white grape found primarily in Western Sicily which goes by Ansonica in Tuscany. In blind tasting lineups, the wine is usually betrayed by its nutty nose. Garbed in a splendidly unctuous core it is supported by bright minerality and floral notes. Weight-wise, it’s perfect for briny faire and bacon-wrapped scallops. <br />
<br />
I’ve always been a huge fan of <a href="http://www.empson.com/italian-wine-producers/hauner/">Hauner</a>, if I can snag one, but I’ve also grown rather fond of <a href="http://www.feudomontoni.it/vini/it/">Feudo Montoni’s</a> Colle del Mandorlo. Their estate sits in the province of Cammarata where the altitude has a wide range between 400 to 700 meters above sea level. The cooler climate, relative to most of the sun-scorched Sicily, adds vibrancy to the wine. Fabio Sireci serves as the estate’s wine steward. It has been in his family’s hands for three generations. He follows the old family recipe for farming success, letting the grapes fend for themselves and cough up their “emotions”. The vines are allowed to graft onto the wild plants and work their own hocus pocus.<br />
<br />
I find their interpretation of <b>Inzolia</b> to be sturdier than many other producers’. Sireci’s wine is stonier and pleasantly oily with a kiss of sea foam. Yet, it isn’t briny so much as there is a charming, salty finish. It’s a great wine with lighter chicken dishes.<br />

(This is about as Halloweeny as I get. I'm sharing a piece called <a href="http://newworldwriting.net/backissues/2006/Vol12No4-Oct06/1204-100606-Gorman.html">"Bones Brigade"</a> that first appeared at <i>Mississippi Review</i> online (Now known as <a href="http://newworldwriting.net/">New World Writing</a>) back in the Fall of 2006. Enjoy.) <br />
<br />
~~~~<br />
<br />
Charlie blasted through the front door sending my nervometer tripping. The mess of bones was strewn over the oakwood table. Two of his goons lugged the body over, freshkill.<br />
<br />
"Think of it as your boobie prize," Charlie said.<br />
<br />
He wore the sardonic grin of a carnival clown as he swung the butcher blade down, right below the kneecap. Blood splotched in the air like so much tomato clam chowder.<br />
<br />
"Bye bye birdie," Charlie said.<br />
<br />
He chuckled, a long drawn-out guttural guffaw. For whatever reason I fused his face with Prof. Jackson’s, though Charlie was a somewhat pudgier cheeked, barrel-chested version, but still. Thwack, he separated the fibula from the ankle. Grimple, his do-it-all goon, still donning his woolen cap, came over with his scraper contraption. He skinned the meat right off till there was nothing but bone. My neck swelled up, a rush of phlegm scooched all the way up to my throat. I tried real hard to dam it back, but I hurled all over the table, all over my pants.<br />
<br />
Grimple busted out the trusty hose already lying in the sink that was waiting for just such an occasion. He washed all the gunk and guts away.<br />
<br />
"Now get to it and make my mobile," Charlie said.<br />
<br />
He called the finished product, the hanging skeleton, a mobile. The idea was to string together his victims’ bones and bring it to their enemy crews’ hangout, pinning it up so that it would do its hangman dance, thus striking fear into his lower alpha nemeses. Apparently mobiles, even ones with sailboats and bunnies frightened him as a kid, so this was one way of facing his fear skull on.<br />
<br />
The mobile thing became Charlie’s signature stunt, but it had become such a sought after, in-your-face kind of tactic, that before long he had a bunch of underbosses pestering him to supply the service their way, for the appropriate fee of course. So I was needed overtime. The upshot of all of this was that since so many orders came pouring in I got a fat paycheck. Charlie paid me in bricks, thick stacks of hundreds. That they came in bricks came in rather handy. The leg to my fan busted so I used a brick to prop it up. I was still hoping to go to Lake Turkana someday so I needed to get accustomed to the sweltering conditions in my shoebox of an apartment. A simple fan was hardly cheating in my book.<br />
<br />
So what was the problem? Why wasn’t I holding up my end of the bargain? Whatever I’d learned in Prof. Jackson’s classes went to mush in my head. I found myself twiddling my fingers against my lips, the way those bozos in cartoons do when they’re going nutso.<br />
<br />
See, it’s like this, at the time I was pursuing a degree in Biological Anthropology at U. Chicago’s Grad Program. What I really wanted to do was dig up bones in Lake Turkana, but instead I was consigned to a lab sorting through fossil fragments that quite frankly could have been stale gingerbread crumbs. I bagged them in Ziplocs and labeled them so that whoever came by to sift through the remains could identify whatever the hell it was they were looking at.<br />
<br />
Let’s just say pursuing a career in Paleontology isn’t the most lucrative path one can take, which is why I jumped on every moneymaking opportunity there was to pay my bills. Twice a week I even went to the sperm bank, I got more for those deposits than all the interest I earned for the past two years in my high yield savings account at Amalgamated Bank. There really wasn’t all that much in my account to begin with, but hey. At first I told myself I went down to the sperm bank to quench the anthropological thirst inside of me and see what specimens loitered around, maybe I could dig up a thesis just by paying enough visits. But of course, as much as it pains me to admit, it was a totally gratifying experience being there. Beating yourself off, in a doctor’s office, is addictive. The possibility that the nurse might accidentally open the door with my pants felled around my ankles heightens the pleasure more so than cutting off circulation to your neck. It’s different for everybody, but I know what floats my boat. Ooh, it sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it, although I’ve never been so lucky. Nurses ought to work on their bedside manner, but that’s just one guy’s opinion.<br />
<br />
I’d grown tired of giving museum walking tours. Actually, I was afraid that the Curator could really revoke my fossil-hunting license if I continued to horn in on his turf. The museum had a very strict policy when it came to profiteering off their patronage. Plus they were pissed that I still hadn’t returned their plaster of paris Homo rudolphensis molar mouthpiece. You could say that’s where part of the trouble began. All I wanted to do was see how Granny would look if I pulled the old switcheroo on her fake teeth.<br />
<br />
After Verizon shut off my phone for the second time I decided to answer an ad pinned up outside of the Dean’s office. Big money digging up bones. Had the ad been posted anywhere else I may have been skeptical. I was hard up for cash so I was willing to do whatever I could, within reason; the allure of being a hired hand in something broadly related to my profession got my juices going. I celebrated by making a pit stop at the sperm bank before heading to the docks where, according to the ad, the interview would be held.<br />
<br />
A deft breeze tussling the low mast sails sounded something like wet towels whipping flesh. I lit a smoke to calm my nerves there was a rough element that hung around there so I did my darnedest to blend in. After I tossed my seventh butt away I got that lousy feeling I’d been duped. Some prick hiding behind a crate was having a good laugh about it. What dipshit would answer such an ad? Grad school, or so I thought, was supposed to make a man out of me, push all that pussy optimism out and pump in the pragmatics.<br />
<br />
As I was ready to leave I felt a hand on my shoulder. There to my surprise was a guy wearing a woolen hat tucked over his ears even though it was a mild seventy-two degrees that listless late spring night. Without a word he led me over to his forklift. He made me get on the lift, while he jumped onto the seat. I hung on for dear life even though we scuttled by at a whopping two miles an hour. I had that feeling that somewhere underneath the hood of that forklift was a turbo-charged motor and this hooknosed goon was going to dump my body into the river.<br />
<br />
He didn’t of course. We ended up in a warehouse amidst a labyrinth of crates. He grabbed a crowbar and hacked a crate open. After tossing away numerous crumbled newspaper balls I could’ve swore I saw a pelvic bone. He handed me a flashlight and told me to get to work and put the skeleton together.<br />
<br />
It was something. Under all that pressure I actually rose to the occasion, having fused all those years of lab classes into my hyper-charged synapses at that moment. I’m not a spiritual person, but I have to say that I was thanking my lucky stars, quasars, whatever.<br />
<br />
"What do you call this," he said to me holding up a fragment.<br />
<br />
"A patella," I said.<br />
<br />
"And this."<br />
<br />
"An occipital bun."<br />
<br />
"OK you’ve got it."<br />
<br />
"Got what?"<br />
<br />
"You’ll start tomorrow."<br />
<br />
The next day on I was the fair-haired boy of the bunch. I had a chance to meet Snucker Salas, Donnie Darling, Carlo Campanella [A.K.A, Charlie Cannoli] the head honcho of the crew and many other luminaries from the dark side of the dock. Prior to that I had only read about them in the news and seen one or two mugshots but they weren’t as mean-looking as I’d pictured.<br />
<br />
Charlie Cannoli took to me immediately. He had me boxing up the leftovers of his dirty deeds. I told him that my specialty was piecing together pongid skeletons, that I was only beginning to get the hang of hominids, forget about anatomically modern Homo Sapiens.<br />
<br />
Donnie Darling was Charlie’s right hand man, a bit of a dandy. He couldn’t leave the john without wetting his hair so that he had that slicked back look 24/7. He wore tighter shirts than the other fellows. Seriously, he made Rayon and other cheap threads look silken or linenish just because he had a flair about him that said style.<br />
<br />
He kept an eye on me to make sure that things went down smooth. I sort of liked the guy, not in a faggy way, but enough to want to pal around with him after work and drink beer and throw darts.<br />
<br />
"What’s the matter with you Paulie, you ain’t you today," Donnie said.<br />
<br />
"Paul, I prefer Paul," I said.<br />
<br />
Probably shouldn’t have harped on it so much, Donnie calling me Paulie, it was his way of saying I was one of the crew, that I wasn’t just another cabone meant something. I’m not exactly sure what, but it had to be good.<br />
<br />
"It’s like putting together a jigsaw puzzle," Donnie said.<br />
<br />
He rumbled through his coat, I could see the barrel of his gun. The hair on the back of my neck shot up. Then he pulled out an envelope.<br />
<br />
"Maybe this will make you feel better."<br />
<br />
He brushed his thumb against a wad of bills, letting them flutter. This actually gave me a deeper chill, the goosebumps multiplied under my sleeves like a bunch of hyperactive sea monkeys on crack.<br />
<br />
"That’s a lot of shcarole. I’ll spot you some, just to get a little taste, but you’ve got to fill your end of the bargain."<br />
<br />
That’s just it I’d got way more than I bargained for. It made me sick seeing the way they’d butchered Prof. Jackson. I never should’ve opened my big fat mouth, I could’ve done better on his exams, I mean, it wasn’t his fault I did lousy on Scantrons. He had to be fair to the rest of the class.<br />
<br />
"You can’t just chop up my professors because they want to take me to do some fieldwork," I said.<br />
<br />
"How do you expect us to run our mobile ring, you’ve got it down pat?"<br />
<br />
"I can teach anybody, really, just give me the chance. There’s this guy from my Lithic Tool Analysis Class who’d be perfect to take my place."<br />
<br />
"No can do, you’re our ace-in-the-hole."<br />
<br />
That’s when I knew that I had only one choice, to finish that job so that I could get out of there alive, but I knew I couldn’t go back. I never learn to keep my big fat mouth shut. Charlie had that devious glow about him while I glommed Prof. Jackson together, like he knew that sooner or later he would replace me.<br />
<br />
After I finished the job I took my brick and sped off. I never returned. As a result they kidnapped the Dean of the Department and sent his body parts wrapped in butcher paper to each of the faculty members. So I had to cut my studies short. They would’ve gotten to me sooner or later, nobody could be so important, nobody was irreplaceable. They would’ve caught on eventually that, contrary to popular belief, I wasn’t so special, that practically any of my fellow Grad students could’ve handled the mobiles. I just didn’t want to be around when they came to that indubitable conclusion.

<br />
JG: Tell us a little about yourself.<br />
<br />
AZ: I’m an English teacher and a writer. Before I decided to start writing seriously I played guitar and wrote music. I played shows all over New York City for many years. <br />
<br />
JG: When did you start the <a href="http://boundlesstales.com/queens-lit-resources/">Boundless Tales Reading Series</a>? What was the impetus behind it? <br />
<br />
AZ: I started Boundless Tales in September 2011. Queens didn’t seem to have a reading series that I was aware of, and I wanted to provide a platform for emerging and established writers. <br />
<br />
JG: Do you like MCing? How do you put together a lineup? <br />
<br />
AZ: I do like MCing. It’s especially fun introducing new writers. My lineup is based on the type of literature being read (i.e. fiction, nonfiction, poetry, etc…) and the overall mood of the pieces. I like to create a nice of balance. <br />
<br />
JG: I understand you had to change venues. How did you land the new location? <br />
<br />
AZ: Waltz Astoria, where we used to be, was closing. And the Astoria Bookshop seemed like the most obvious and sensible choice. And the owner Lexi is marvelous. <br />
<br />
JG: Where does the inspiration come from in your writing?<br />
<br />
AZ: My family. Their strengths and flaws. <br />
<br />
JG: How has the book tour been treating you? Any interesting stories you’d like to share?<br />
<br />
AZ: The book tour has been interesting. I was surprised about how many different types of people were interested in reading about an Armenian family who immigrates to Queens, NY. Last week I spoke with an African American man in his late 80’s who used to be a musician in Harlem in the 1940’s. He bought the book. <br />
<br />
JG: How long did it take you to write The Legacy of Lost Things? Any hurdles you had to overcome?<br />
<br />
AZ: It took me about a year to write. The most difficult hurdle was writing about characters who resembled my family members and portraying them as honestly as I could.<br />
<br />
JG: How many publishers did you approach? <br />
<br />
AZ: I don’t remember, honestly. I was fortunate, though. I finished writing the novel in September 2012 and signed my contract in January 2013. <br />
<br />
JG: This might be probing, and I’ll understand if you don’t want to answer, but did you draw on any stories or background from friends or family regarding immigrating or assimilating into New York City? <br />
<br />
AZ: Absolutely. My parents immigrated here. I drew on their experiences and my personal accounts of their struggles. <br />
<br />
JG: Where did you go to school?<br />
<br />
AZ: Queens College for my B.A. and M.A. But I was a psych major with a double minor in philosophy and sociology. My M.A. was in creative writing. <br />
<br />
JG: What writers have had the greatest impact on you?<br />
<br />
AZ: Truman Capote, David Sedaris, Sylvia Plath<br />
<br />
JG What are you reading now? <br />
<br />
AZ: A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry<br />
<br />
JG: You are also involved in Newtown Literary. You serve on the editorial review board. Tell me about your experience.<br />
<br />
AZ: It’s been quite amazing. Tim Fredrick, the founder, is one of the best people I have ever worked with. His intuition on how to run and manage a publication always impresses me. And the staff overall is extremely innovative. <br />
<br />
JG: What’s the Queen Book Festival? <br />
<br />
AZ: It’s a festival featuring Queens literature. They are working very hard to make it a huge success. It will be the first one the borough has ever had. <br />
<br />
JG: Opinions about MFAs?<br />
<br />
AZ: They aren’t necessary, but they help in many ways. It gives the discipline, insight into other writers that you wouldn’t normally read and you have to produce a body of work by the end of the program. Those are all valuable aspects, I think. But as I said, not necessary. It depends on the writer. <br />
<br />
JG: Do you have a schedule for writing, a preferred time or place? <br />
<br />
AZ: I just need peace and quiet and I need to be indoors. Being outside is too distracting. As long as I write every day, regardless of when, I’m happy. <br />
<br />
JG: Any guilty pleasures? <br />
<br />
AZ: HBO’s “<a href="http://www.hbo.com/girls">Girls”</a>, Lindt salted chocolate, tequila, gin, and aji verde.<br />
<br />
JG: What do you want to be when you grow up?<br />
<br />
AZ: A person whose writing has made on impression on her readers. <br />
<br />
JG: If you were throwing a dinner party who would you invite (Living or dead)? <br />
<br />
AZ: My stepfather, my father, my grandparents, and many other relatives who passed away. I know— not very exciting and kind of sad, but they inspired me more than anyone else in my life. <br />
<br />
JG: How do you deal with rejection?<br />
<br />
AZ: I don’t let it bother me. When I send out stories or my work for consideration I always keep a detailed log, but I forget that I sent it in the first place. <br />
<br />
JG: Any new projects?<br />
<br />
AZ: I’m working on a new novel. The deadline I have set for myself is December 2015. It’s about a girl’s quest to find out what happened to her family in Armenia during the Genocide. <br />
<br />
JG: Places you long to visit.<br />
<br />
AZ: Argentina, Italy, and Armenia. <br />
